In modern Israel, it's the city of Eilat and the nearby Taba border-point. The boundary is the border with Egypt's Sinai area.
Why is the Sinai Peninsula of military importance to both Egypt and Israel?
Almost every war between Egypt and Israel has been fought in or using the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt has used the Sinai Peninsula as a launching point for its invasion of Israel in 1948 and in preparations for the likely invasion of Israel in 1967. Israel conquered the Sinai and was forced to relinquish it in 1956. In 1973, the Sinai Peninsula (under Israeli Occupation) served as a strong buffer to the Egyptian surprise invasion attempt.
What key Middle Eastern leader took a moderate approach towards Israel which ended up costing him his life?

After the Zionists declared independence of israel what were the countries that got invaded?
Israel was invaded. However, it is worth noting that during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-49, some Israeli divisions crossed into sovereign Egyptian territory (east Sinai) after taking back the Negev Desert in the south of Mandatory Palestine from Egyptian forces. When Israel retreated from the Sinai, Egypt was willing to sign an armistice.
Which former Egyptian territory occupied by Israel in the 1967 war?
Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza strip during the 1967 war. The Sinai Peninsula was reverted to Egypt under the 1979 peace treaty. Israel evacuated its settlers and military from the Gaza strip in 2005, and handed it over to the PLO. The residents of the strip trashed the economic infrastructure inherited from Israeli settlements, and Hamas expelled the PLO. There is presently (early 2011) no 'former' Egyptian territory occupied by Israel.
How much does it cost to cross the border from Israel into Sinai?
If you cross the border into Sinai in Eilat/Taba, 85 shekel plus 56 Egyption Lira (assuming you have no car), will get you a 14 days visa to western sinai only (up to Sharem-a-Shiekh). Please note that as of Sept. 2008, there are severe warnings regarding El-Quaida and Hamas terrorists aiming at western tourists in Sinai. Take care.
